Most of us are living very different lives than we were a few months ago. Even though the priorities in the grand scheme of things are stopping the spread of the virus, keeping people safe, and caring for those who are sick, it’s OK to miss the little things. Some of...
Happy 2020! That number alone sounds pretty futuristic – I’m sure if our child selves were asked what 2020 will be like, many of us would have conjured up images of flying cars, robot helpers, and food replacement pills. Well, we’re not quite there with the flying...
When I decided to write a column on recent use and discussion of QR codes, I knew I wanted to follow it with a piece about fresher technology that is used with similar intent. Beacon technology was the first thing that came to mind. I thought of beacons in part...
Last month I wrote a blog explaining some misconceptions of the print industry (did you miss it? If so, you can read it here). As these are all big topics in our industry, I’ve decided that for the next few months I will explore each of these topics a little more in...
Hi! I’m Chloe! I know we are about to start show season and I should be jumping up and down about GraphExpo, labelExpo and the other cool shows, but I’m buried in an Augmented Reality project that is going sideways. Let me share what I’ve learned! I started out, as...

It’s hard to believe that there haven’t been any McQR codes before now, but they are certainly going all out by putting them on every bag and soda cup! The codes will lead to nutritional information, but I see two pretty HUGE problems with that. The...
And now, a few poignant words of advice from Sandy Hubbard’s son… and PMC’s teenaged “man on the street!” No Brainers for Mobile Marketing with QR Codes by guest blogger Ben Rutter QR codes are not a novelty. They are an established way...
This is from Y&R Ecuador and launched in May 2012. It’s making the rounds in the US now. The premise – kinda cool – if you want more hours to your HAPPY HOUR buy a Bud, scan the QR code and add 1 minute to the BUDCLOCK. Do the math, 20 scans,...
